+That's how I've been loading systemd until now, but once
+systemd-sysvinit is intalled, you only have once choice and I think this
+is what Sander was referring to.
+
+With systemd, there are some places you can go to to make possible for
+rescue. See:

+
+
+Not tried them myself, but they should work (unless they depend on some
+dracut stuff)
